The story

Founded 2012 as a mobile-first cloud PMS for hotels. Acquired by hotel operator MCR in 2020, giving the company a captive customer base and operator-informed roadmap. In 2022 launched Stayntouch 2.0, expanding beyond PMS into a full suite including Stayntouch Pay — a native embedded payments product powered by Adyen — moving from pure SaaS toward a payments-monetized vertical platform.
